“Sam was a very good groundstroker, he got every ball back,” Meunier said. “For me, I had to keep every ball in, and try to stay aggressive. I was pretty consistent, I was happy with myself there.”

In the 18-and-under singles finals, Kevin Ho of Suffield won the boys title, and Mitali Mali of East Longmeadow was the girls champion.

Ho, who is headed for the University of Connecticut to major in actuarial science, outlasted Matt Rosenkrantz of Longmeadow 7-5, 6-1. It was the second straight Rosenthal crown for Ho, who took the 16-and-under singles last year.

Mali and Claudia Noah, East Longmeadow teammates, had talked the previous day about wanting to break some sort of school record time for playing the longest three-set match of 3 hours, and 28 minutes when they met in Friday’s final.

But instead, Noah was fortunate to even make it to the finish. The length of time was no longer the key number, it was the amount of time Noah injured herself in the match, eventually won by Mali in the super tiebreaker 10-7.

In the second set, Noah, who had already turned her left ankle and needed it taped, dove across the court trying to get at a ball to her left. She fell hard to the court and slid up against the fence, not looking like anyone who could continue. But she did, despite hindered by a sore back and a scraped knee.

“It’s got to be,” Noah said about being the most times (four) she injured herself in a match

Mali was a good sport. Instead of insisting they keep to playing a full third set, Mali proposed the shorter tie-breaker to give her friend a chance. But then again, Mali was also protecting her property as the duo is slated to team up in Saturday’s doubles competition.

“She stays sitting at the net, and I’m going to be running around the back,” Mali quipped.

“And when she says sitting, she means sitting,” Noah chimed in. “I’ve played sitting down before, and we still won.”

One of the most impressive wins came from Eve Sullivan of Wilbraham, who got past Alexis Pothul of Chicopee 6-0, 6-3 in the 16-and-under girls singles division. Sullivan takes on Emily Davenport of Feeding Hills in the finals Sunday at 9 a.m. Davenport edged best friend Kara Peters 6-4, 6-3 in the semis.
